jc999: Let us know when you have that upgrade archive ready. I'm sure other people would like to test it.
Oops, sorry, that must have been not big enough. On 07.07.06 @ 18:00 I wrote that it is ready and asked what to do with it now.
After that I made some changes due to the discussion on where to put xPC, but otherwise it is OK.
Buggy modules that do not correctly release their resources will cause this to happen. There isn't much the core can do about that. If you can isolate what modules are causing the problems, I'm sure those module authors would be happy to hear about it and fix it.
Here comes: Theme-switching can cause the following modules to crash LS: There are two errors-boxes "Error during module-initialization", from xtray-2.0.1.dll and NLM\NetLoadMdoule2.dll.
Closer description see above.
I'm not sure what that means. (quicklaunch)
Most themes have quicklaunch-icons in the taskbar. That's usually Browser/IM, Email, Filemanager etc. In the austerity-theme you can for example activate/deactivate these via the theme-menu in the bar-options.
There is also the quicklaunch-folder of windows. That would usually be "C:\Documents and settings\{USERNAME}\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch.
This folder is responsible for the quicklaunch-bar in the "normal" windows-shell. This quicklaunch is included by default in the themes, somewhere in the standard popup-menu.
(In the austerity-theme it can be activated/deactivated with the variable UseRealQuickLaunchItems in themevars.rc.)
The menu-item is in the default personal/popup.rc:
*Popup "quicklaunch" "!DynamicFolder:$QuickLaunch$*.lnk"
That's the menu of which the contents sometimes disappear in every theme.
